Important Update On Under 17’s & Reserves

We are very sorry to announce that the Under 17’s team which was to compete in the Lisburn Invitational League is no longer going ahead.

Unfortunately not enough players were able to be recruited to run an Under 17’s team and a Reserve team.

We would like to apologise and thank the Lisburn Invitational league plus parents and the players that came to the opening training evenings throughout the summer and this decision has not been taken lightly.

Any players that were looking to play at Under 17 level are welcomed and encouraged to move up to the Reserves team which will compete in the MUFL Reserve Championship as we will be looking to continue the ethos of a youthful reserve team.

Unfortunately Greig (Bap) Savage has stepped down as Reserve Team Manager due to personal reasons and we would like to put on record our appreciation for the work Bap has done throughout the summer and wish him well and hope to see him back in the local football scene soon.

The Reserves 1st league game which will be played on Wednesday 19th August 2015 will be taken by Colin McCullough and Barry Taylor.

We are now inviting interested parties to apply for the position of Reserve Team Manager which is now available.

Please contact either Colin McCullough on 07761970048 or Hubert Watson on 07973629846 to express your interest as we are looking to get the correct person in ASAP.

Recruiting For Reserves & Under 17’s Players

There is still a few opportunities for interested players to come and trial out for Dollingstown Reserves and Under 17’s squads.

Ideally for the Reserves we are looking young players from age 18 up to around 22/23 years of age.

For our NEW Under 17’s team players must be born on or before 31 December 1999 to quality. Our Under 17’s will play in the Lisburn Junior Invitational League against teams including, Banbridge Town, Lisburn Distillery, Hillsborough Boys so will be at the top level of Youth football.
